Well, fonts have many confusing terminology. There's em, points, pixel
etc , and most people got confuse what they means. What I said is
correct, that is I've added 16pt bitmap to the font. So, the font now
have 2 bitmap sizes, 12pt and 16pt. Why these 2 sizes? Well, from my
experience, these 2 are the most used sizes for screen reading.
What you mentiones, on the other hand, is not point, rather pixel
sizes. 12pt ~ 16 pixel, 16pt ~ 21 pixel. I forgot the formula, but the
screen dpi does come into picture when calculating the relationship.
The above is true for most windows platform with 96dpi.
At this point, I would like to get more suggestion on how to further
improve the font. Features request, bugs reporting etc are welcome.
Regards.
